Death Metal Epic

"Dean Swinford’s debut novel stands tall and transcendent as
a bold new voice of irrealism and the contemporary avant-garde. Intelligent and
playful, he educates with one hand while he waxes hysterical with the other."

This is Swinford's first novel, although I first read something by him long ago, an article in one of my favorite magazines, The Cafe Irreal: "Defining Irrealism: Scientific Development and Allegorical Possibility."
